South Park Just Scored a $1.5 Billion Streaming Deal, and Honestly? Trey Parker and Matt Stone Deserve Every Penny

Let's gooooo. South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone just signed a $1.5 billion streaming deal with Paramount, and I cannot stress this enough - they deserve every last ridiculous dollar. According to reports, Paramount locked down the global streaming rights for South Park over the next five years, bringing the show back home to Paramount+ after a messy split with HBO Max. That means 10 new episodes a year, more specials, and way fewer corporate tantrums over who gets to host Cartman.

And listen, if we're being real? Parker and Stone might be the most talented people working in entertainment. Period. Everything they've ever done - from Cannibal! The Musical to Team America to The Book of Mormon - has been weird, brilliant, and somehow exactly what we needed at the time. (I also really love BASEketball more than I should) And South Park? It's still the only show on TV allowed to say the things nobody else will. Somehow it's smarter, funnier, and more fearless than ever, nearly three decades in.

So yeah, $1.5 billion sounds like a lot - but for the guys who gave us Randy Marsh as a weed mogul and taught us what happens when Saddam Hussain meets The Devil, I'd say it's a bargain.
